The Conjuring- Chapter 4, Ms. Denson’s Home

Shawn and Taker take another try at communications after a bad night. Hunter, Kevin and the married couple take a visit to the house on the hill, where three youths have decided to make a home. Taker begins to shift his worry from finding Kane to protecting Shawn from him. Shawn is starting to believe his gift will be the death of him.

---------

Shawn and taker did something they never do. They go to bed angry at each other. They avoid each other when they wake up, Shawn going to work in the garage and Taker going out for hours, searching everywhere for Kane. Meeting Daniel who offers help for the last two hours. Taker then ends up in a bar with Austin, where he spent the remaining hours of sunlight.

Shawn leans against the back wall of the house and watches the sunset. "You know you should never go to bed angry at each other." Lady states. "I know, thank you" Shawn scoffs. "Just saying. I mean he hasn't been home all day, doesn't that-" "what fills my mind with fears he's sleeping with someone else? No. Because I know he's not like that" Shawn snaps before pushing off the wall. Lady huffs at the young blond and watches as he storms inside, slamming the door shut.

"You shouldn't be out there when the sunsets" a gruff voice calls. Shawn looks to see Taker leaning against the kitchen counter, beer dangling from his fingers. "And you stink of booze. Go clean yourself up" Shawn bites. Taker raises an eyebrow. "Bit hypocritical of you isn't it?" Taker asks. Shawn pauses. "I mean you use to reek of alcohol but I never said anything" Taker adds. Shawn swallows. "Well isn't this a nice twist?" The demon smirks, its dark hand curling around the back of Shawn's neck. "Fuck you" Shawn whispers. Taker slams the beer bottle down. Shawn looks at him. He's never seen Taker this drunk before, except one time. "Why were you with Austin?" Shawn demands. "The fuck?" Taker slurs. "You've only ever got this wasted with him. You promised to never be alone with him again. So tell me why!" Shawn explains, voice starting to rise. "Because I have a life outside of being a fuckin ghostbuster with my crazy husband Shawn!" Taker yells. Shawn just stares at his husband.

He can't remember a time he's ever seen his husband this angry. "Why?" Taker whispers. Shawn's eyes widen. "Why did you let Paul in?" Taker asks. Shawn doesn't know what to say. His husband looks so lost and scared. All anger leaves Shawn. "I'm sorry." Shawn whispers. Taker looks at him. "But you never told me anything about Paul. All you said is he took you in after the accident. You never told me he was a threat. I didn't know anything until after Paul touched my hand yesterday" Shawn adds. Taker lowers his gaze. What could he say? Neither man had been communicating for a long time. Taker picks his beer back up and takes a long sip before looking back at Shawn. Shawn looks beautiful with the moonlight hitting his back.

And Taker knows he fucked up. He shouldn't have stayed with Austin after telling him about Kane. Taker can tell shawn is tired but also scared. "You're right baby, I'm sorry. We haven't had a lot of communication lately have we?" Taker murmurs. "No. We haven't. Goto bed Taker. We can talk when you're sober." Shawn tells him. Taker nods and finishes his beer before binning the bottle. He pauses and looks at Shawn. Shawn keeps his eyes on the ground. "Come to bed soon baby" Taker mutters before walking off. "I could kill him" the demon states. Mullet and lady tense and slowly look at the demon. This catches Shawn off guard. He can't remember them ever acknowledging the demon. "There's no need for that" Shawn states. "No, but it'll be fun" the demon chuckles.

Shawn ignores them all and makes his way to the bathroom. He turns on the tap and collects water in his hands before splashing it onto his face. When he looks up his eyes land on the locked cabinet. "Try it...see if he truly cares. If he changed it" the demon laughs. Shawn knows he shouldn't. He should just leave. He should not even look at it. 110997. A simple date. His eyes grow dark as the lock falls into his hand. "Well...would we look at that..." the demon mutters. For once, it's not teasing. It's not cruel. It's simple. It sounds like pity. He opens the cabinet and grabs the first pill bottle. "Shawn? Don't...please.." mullet whispers. Shawn closes the cabinet and stares at himself in the mirror as he unscrews the lid. "Please don't do this" Lady pleads.

The demon just stands back and watches Shawn. He watches the blond tip two pills into his hand. He watches as Shawn tilts his head back and he swallows them dry. The lid is applied back into the bottle. And the demon knows as Shawn leans against the sink. As he puts the pills and lock back on. That Shawn won't be able to see him soon. So he leaves and makes his way to the bedroom. An evil thought bubbles into his mind as he takes in the passed-out drunk man. The man is a lot closer to the darkness than he realises.

Shawn looks at himself in the mirror. No ghosts. No demons. Nothing. He's alone. He's alone and it's quiet. "Fuck" his voice shakes. Regret fills him as his mind starts to go numb. He promised. He made a simple promise. And he couldn't even keep it. He pushes away from the sink. Hopefully, he'll be sober enough for their talk tomorrow. If he's not, oh well. It doesn't matter. He makes his way to the bedroom where he rests for the night. A part of him knows it'll be his last peaceful night's sleep for a long time.

Taker is woken up by the sudden choking feeling. He jerks up and gasps for breath. He looks next to him to see Shawn curled up, sleeping peacefully. "Oh, I fucked up.." Taker whispers, his throat sore. "I'm so sorry my Darlin" he whispers before kissing Shawn's forehead. He made a simple promise he'd never go drinking with Austin ever again. At least alone. He remembers the fear in Shawn's eyes when Taker stumbled through the door, a ruined motorcycle helmet hanging from his hand. His clothes ripped. And he broke that simple promise.

He stands from the bed and looks at the floor next to his feet. A cold shiver runs down his spine at the burned footprints on the floor. He looks at the mirror and gasps. A dark handprint around his neck. "No..Shawn.. Shawn!" Taker gasps turning back to the bed. Shawn doesn't move. He doesn't even stir. Taker kneels next to him and rolls him onto his back. Shawn is almost too peaceful. He touches his neck and checks his pulse. "Shawn? Shawn wake up baby please" Taker begs shaking him slightly. Shawn gasps and his eyes snap open. "Taker what the he...." Shawn trails off as his eyes focus and catch Taker's neck. You took something, didn't you? Taker thinks. He also can't bring himself to yell at Shawn. He didn't change that stupid code. Well, he will now. He definitely will now.

"Undertaker...your neck.." Shawn whispers gently touching it. "Oh...no this is all my fault. This is all my fault" Shawn whispers. "No..baby no" Taker mutters. "I'm sorry I went out with Austin. I'm sorry I blamed you for Paul. Fuck Shawn I'm sorry" Taker rambles. Shawn just smiles sadly. "We are both to blame..." Shawn whispers cupping Taker's face. Taker leans forward and rests his forehead against Shawn's. "I'm sorry you got hurt...I'm.. " Shawn bites his lower lip and closes his eyes. "I'll change the passcode.. " Taker mutters. "I'm sorry I didn't." Taker adds. Shawn tenses but slowly nods. "I won't lose control again. I promise. If I knew this would have happened I wouldn't have done it.." Shawn confesses. "We have to sort this Shawn.. we have to fix this all." Taker tells him. "It's becoming too real...I don't know what he wants anymore Taker." Shawn admits. Taker rubs his neck. "Maybe, if we find Kane, he could help" Taker suggests. "So you're going to allow me to help now?" Shawn asks with a knowing smile. "Don't push your luck boy" Taker warns playfully. Shawn chuckles.

He missed this when he and Taker were fighting. He missed the side of Taker no one saw.

"I was thinking about inviting Goldust over today. You and him hang out when I look for Kane." Taker informs him. Shawn frowns. "What?" Taker questions pulling Shawn into his lap. "I can't. I told you, Kevin has a job and Hunters free. We are going today at lunch." Shawn tells him. "What? Without me?" Taker asks. "Well, we were waiting. We were going to go yesterday but you went missing with Austin. And I understand you need to find Kane. So I'll go alone. Maybe I'll bring Goldie" Shawn explains. Taker shakes his head. "No. I'm not letting you do this without me." Taker snaps. "You need to find Kane" Shawn sighs resting his forehead against Taker's shoulder. "No. He can wait. I either come with you or you don't go" Taker murmurs rubbing his back.

What Taker wanted to say is, that he would much rather be with Shawn when Kane arrived rather than find Shawn after Kane arrived. If his nightmare and Paul's arrival and Daniel's phone call were anything to Taker, it was a warning that Kane was looking for Shawn. He doesn't know why Kane wants Shawn, he doesn't understand, but he also has a gut feeling Paul is behind it.

"But finding kan-" "no. We do this together. Something about marriage vows.." Taker smirks slightly as Shawn starts to laugh. "I married such a dork" he huffs. Taker turns and drops Shawn onto the bed, hovering over him. "I'm the dork?" Taker questions. "Damn right you are" Shawn smirks giving him a sloppy kiss on his cheek. Taker frowns before smirking and digging his fingers into Shawn's side. Shawn gasps and begins giggling and laughing. "Ta-AH-Taker!" Shawn gasps trying to wiggle away. Taker smiles and stops as Shawn gasps for breath. "I'm sorry for yesterday." Taker mutters. "I'm sorry too" Shawn smiles before kissing him softly. "Cmon love birds!" Hunter's voice calls through the house.

Shawn groans. "Oh yeah, it's not concern that hunter can just break into our house" Taker grumbles pushing away from Shawn and the bed. Shawn chuckles and throws an arm over his face as Taker grabs their clothes.

God if Shawn's father could see him now.

--------------

Taker eyes the big house up. It sits on the highest hill in the valley. Which taker always believed was impractical and a safety hazard but his mother always told him the story of the little old woman that has lived there since the village was created. That she is one with the land and protected by its creatures. No one has seen her in over 10 years which led to beliefs she was dead and that the creatures had turned on her and taken her. Especially when the house was found a wreck and empty.

Taker felt for the women. When he had just lost his family, she was always so kind to him. Use to let him take stuff from the bakery she owned in the village center. Used to scold the other kids for making fun of him. So when he found out about what happened it hurt. He made a grave for her near his parent's grave. All three are the centerpiece of the cemetery and people tend to visit them regularly.

If Shawn and taker ever did have kids, taker would make sure they knew about the important figures in the valley's history, his parents, Ms. Denson the lovely old woman who lived up the hill, and of course, Shawn Michaels, the man who entered the valley like a Ray of light and cared for the villagers and the spirits who can't seem to pass on.

"Isn't this old ms densons home?" Shawn asks as they park up out front. "Yeah. Poor women." Taker sighs as Kevin parks on their right and hunter on their left. All men get out of their vehicles. "Would love to know what happened to her." Kevin states. "Wouldn't we all? Biggest mystery on this police force." Hunter huffs. "I didn't think anyone lived here anymore," Shawn speaks up as he steps closer. "They struggled selling it to anyone in the village. Must be people from out of town who brought it." Taker answers, making sure he's quick to follow the blond. He stands behind Shawn as he knocks St the old wooden door. "So how does this work?" Hunter asks from behind them. "You do absolutely nothing unless Shawn asks" Kevin states. Taker doesn't have to look at the taller to see the massive smirk on his face. Especially as Hunter grumbles an insult.

The door opens slightly to reveal a small girl. Shawn's eyes lower. "Hello sweetie. Is your mother home?" Shawn asks. The girl just tilts her head at him. "Your not safe here" she whispers. "Why not?" Shawn asks quietly. "Because he wants them to kill you. He wants you dead. Gone." She answers. "What? Who? Who wants that?" Shawn asks as the door swings open wider.

Shawn's eyes widen as the girl is suddenly gone and a woman is standing in her place. "You alright Shawn?" Taker asks quietly, placing a big hand on his lower back. "The girl-" "Shawn.. no one was there" Kevin states. Shawn squints in confusion. She seemed so real. But then again, most of them do. "Do you have any daughters?" Taker asks. "No..no kids." the woman answers. "I'm sorry." Shawn states suddenly putting on a smile. "I must have seen a ghost. But that's why we're here, isn't it? So I guess that's a good thing" Shawn adds. "It is. I'm glad you agreed to come. Please come in." The woman smiles. The men walk into the house. Taker keeps his eyes on Shawn. He wouldn't take his eyes off the man, especially after that show at the door.

"So, Mrs-" "just Lita, please" she smiles. "Ok, Lita. I'm-" "Undertaker, Shawn, Hunter and Kevin. Trust me I know" she sighs as the door closes. "How do you know all that?" Hunter asks. "Well, me and hunter met when we first moved in. And the boys are big fans of Kevin's blog. Also, the whatever haunting this house are big mentionors of you two" she states pointing at the married couple. "The boys?" Kevin asks. "My friends...we moved here together to get away from life. Big mistake" she sighs. Taker looks at Shawn who's busy looking around. "So, the dead wants us" Taker mutters. "Mhm" Shawn nods. "And you already knew that" he sighs. "Oh yeah. The little girl decided to make me aware of that. Your friends, are they here?" Shawn asks turning to Lita. "Oh yeah, there just upstairs. I can go get them" Lita states. "Thank you. It'd be much appreciated" Shawn smiles.

Kevin, hunter and taker watch the women jog upstairs before turning to Shawn. "We setting up?" Kevin asks. "Oh yeah. But after they tell us what they've experienced" Shawn states. "That bad huh?" Kevin mutters. "I've seen 6 ghosts, one parasite and two shadows. Whatever Ms. Denson saw or kept locked up here, are not afraid of being caught." Shawn explains. "You reckon they are coming out because someone who's not Ms. Denson is living here?" Hunter asks. Shawn looks at his friend. "Who said they liked her?" Shawn asks. Taker looks at him concerned. "What do you mean by that Shawn?" Taker asks.

"Someone doesn't just disappear like that. Especially when they are surrounded by this much evil."

We shall dance again my Darlin

Based off @sleepy-achilles

Hunter still wasn't used to the sea life but it was starting to feel better than life on land. He leans back in his chair and takes in the faces around the table. His lovely girlfriend Stephanie, covering her mouth, fighting giggles. Kevin smirking behind his bottle of rum. Scott and Kid laughing their asses off, completely wasted, and then the man who brought them all together, Shawn Michaels. His boots rested on the table, a small smile on his lips as he looks up at the night sky. Hunters watches as shawns fingers curl around the ring he wears around his neck.

"So if girls aren't allowed on ships how do you have lovers?" Stephanie asks. "On land. Or male lovers" Kevin shrugs. "Shawnies the boy toy, he's the best at getting lovers! Ask him!" Kid cheers. Shawn's smile falters slightly as he brings the rum up to his lips. Stephanie looks at him. "Do you have many lovers, Captain Michaels?" She asks softly. Shawn lowers his drink and his fingers clasp around the ring. "I had a lover once" Shawn states quietly. Hunter's smile fades at the sudden sadness in the man's eyes. Kevin boots Kid causing him to whimper. "What was she like?" Stephanie asks. Shawn looks at her. "He was stubborn. A fighter" Shawn answers. Stephanie's eyes widen. "He?" She asks. "I'm sorry for assum-" "it's fine my dear girl" Shawn chuckles placing his feet down. "I reckon you woulda liked him," Shawn tells her.

"Or been scared of him" Scott huffs. "No no. Once you got past that scary front, he was the kindest man you could of ever met. He talked me out of a lot of bad crimes and decisions. Wanted to help people, just like you do" Shawn states standing up. "What happened to him?" Stephanie asks. Shawn tenses and looks at the sea. "It was a night just like this, 4 years ago..." Shawn begins.

~4 years ago~

Shawn looks away from the night sky at the sound of boots on the deck. "What are you doing up my Darlin?" The deep voice asks. Shawn smiles and walks toward the Undertaker. "Just thinkin about gathering the crew again" Shawn admits. Taker wraps an arm around the smaller man. "The same crew that left you for dead?" Taker asks tilting his head. "Minor details! Would have never met you my love if they didn't" Shawn smiles. "You mean you would have never winded up in my home, stealing from me?" Taker questions with a knowing smirk. "Minor details, I never took anything, and I helped you escape that silly island" Shawn smiles. "And a pirate I became, and whilst my parents would hate that fate for me, the captain is quite beautiful" Taker murmurs.

Shawn's cheeks heat. "You are much too kind to me love" he whispers before leaning up to kiss him. Taker pulls back slightly, resting his forehead against shawns. "Come to bed my Darlin. Allow me to show my love for ye" Taker mutters. Shawn chuckles and kisses him softly. "However can one resis-" Shawn gets cut off by the ship jolting. Taker pulls back and turns around. "Do you recognize that ship?" He asks as the black and red ship pulls up alongside them. "No..wait...yeah no" Shawn answers. "Do you?" Shawn questions. Taker raises an eyebrow. "Me? I have only been on these seas for a few years, you have been on these seas your whole life" Taker states. "Minor details that, you might have seen something I haven't" Shawn shrugs.

And sometimes that can be the case. Shawn had lived on sea his whole life, but sometimes he had too much rum and falls asleep, leaving taker to steer the ship. Taker didn't like drunk Shawn and would eventually make a deal for the pirate to cut down on the rum.

"I have never seen this ship in my life...." Taker pauses as men walk onto the deck. "But I've seen that man" Taker growls. Shawn looks at the small fat man and the tall man with the mask. "Who are...." "Undertaker! My son!" The man calls. Shawn raises an eyebrow. Taker crosses his arms and looks at Shawn. "Well don't look at me, he called you not me" Shawn tells him. "Who is that?" Taker asks as the bigger man places a walk over the two boats. "Your brother Kane" Paul states. Shawn's eyes widen. This was not good. "You are not welcome aboard this ship!" Shawn barks reaching for his sword. "Shawn.." Taker warns. Shawn looks at taker only for the man to suddenly grab him and force him into the captain's quarters. "Taker? Taker!" Shawn yells as the door is locked. "I'm sorry my darling. I will always love you" Taker smiles slipping his ring off and placing it onto the floor. Shawn's eyes widen with fear and he starts to beat against the glass panels.

"Taker please!" Shawn yells. Taker disappears out of sight and all he hears is a gunshot. Shawn's heartaches. That's when Kane appears in front of the door, blood splattered on his mask. "No" Shawn whispers. "Leave him, Kane! We have what we need!" Paul's voice yells. Shawn pushes from the door and rushes to the desk, grabbing a spare key. He gets out just in time to watch the other ship pull away, taker's body laid out on the deck. "No...NO!" Shawn screams. Tears run down his face and he looks down to see the ring. He slowly picks it up. "I'll revenge you, my love..." Shawn whispers, bringing a dirty sleeve up to wipe his eyes.

"Whatever it takes." He growls.

~Present day~

"Oh.." Stephanie whispers covering her mouth. "He said what about us?" Scott suddenly asks getting him a slap on the arm off Kid. "I haven't seen that boat since." Shawn states. "And that's the real reason you came and got us was to hunt down his killers? Not for the treasure of WCW?" Kevin asks. "Yeah. I guess so" Shawn mutters. "Then why are we sat around for then?" Scott asks. Shawn looks at them. "Yeah! You want revenge for your lover then let's get revenge!" Stephanie smiles standing up. "Yeah screw it we ain't got else to do" hunter shrugs. Shawn smiles and turns away from the crew. "We are coming my dear" he whispers before kissing the ring.

What the crew of misfits didn't know was they were being followed by an all-black ghost ship. That they had been since they picked up Hunter and Stephanie.

The captain of the ship smile and lowered his black hat over his eyes.

"We shall dance again my Darlin"

I love the idea of a Pirate au.

Thinking about it a lot as I watch the first pirates of the Caribbean film with my niece (who's never seen it before, shameful I know)

Shawn would 100% be a jack sparrow kind of guy

Hunter would be like Will with Stephanie as Elizabeth

I'd find a way to fit Taker in. Shawn needs his dead lover even as a pirate.

sometimes?

SOMETIMES?

Boy wait till you want someone to pick you up snacks, lets see how that sometimes is then

(I love you sometimes too Kid, im also proud of you for talking about you know who and posting that adorable picture of you dressed as Jack Sparrow)

I have more Mafia stuff, thanks to @c-valentines my true love sometimes (also uh check out their conjuring story, they are currently working on chapter 4.)

Once Shawn and Taker get married or atleast in a relationship, Paul really starts to hate Shawn.

Taker will be about to kill someone when Shawn will yell his name, leading to Taker dropping his gun and hanging his head in shame, which then leads to a confused victim, amused kane and pissed off Paul. Shawn will then yell and him about how he can't just shoot all his problems leading to Taker apologising. (The person will later be shot somewhere without Shawn, but still the delay upsets Paul)

Shawn has one way to annoy Taker, and that's to switch to Spanish. Taker finds the language beautiful, especially when it coming out of shawns mouth, he however does not appreciate it being used mid argument or to make snarky comments. It gets under his skin, just like Shawn walking away from him mid argument does.

Shawn is reckless. Which is probably a stupid trait to have in a mafia lifestyle. But it does make him appreciate Takers protectiveness more, especially after nearly getting shot if it wasn't for Taker to protect him. At first he finds the rules, the watching and the babying annoying and offending but after that he appreciates it a lot. He obviously never tells Taker and makes sure Taker believes he hates it still.

Shawn 100% is the kind to be like 'oh you don't want to mess with me' when in a troubling situation, because he knows taker is close behind and the second things goes to turn physical Taker will but a stop to it by just standing behind shawn.

Shawn is and always will be a brat and Paul hates it. He hates the affect this one man has over his Undertaker.

I didn't want to fully colour them as I don't have the right colours nor do I enjoy colouring as much on paper anymore as I feel it ruins it sometimes. But I felt there are certain colours on them that make their characters

Outline Coloured

It is times like this I wish I had a way of doing digital art. Hopefully one day that will become a thing because I'd 100% draw a lot more.

But enjoy.

The Conjuring- Chapter 3, The Trouble with Communicating

Taker starts to face family issues whilst Shawn’s demons start to become a reality.

(this is a bit all over the place and I apologise, see it as a filler chapter)

---

Taker watched Shawn. This wasn't unusual. Taker was obsessed with Shawn. He loved watching the blond work, talk, relax and well just exist. Shawn never minded taker watching him, he knew Taker just liked to take a moment or two to appreciate him without them having to interact. Taker was grateful for Shawn, Shawn saved him from so much and showed him a world he never knew he needed. But in this moment. Taker just feels pain. He frozen on spot. He cannot move and he cannot speak. Just watch. Watch as Shawn's hand shape the clay into a bowl shape. Pottery was a habit Shawn picked up once he became sober. Normally taker wouldn't mind watching him work. But the shadow figure grew darker as it stood over Shawn. It started to take shape into someone Taker never wanted to see near Shawn like this.

His baby brother.

Kane slowly looks at Taker and tilts his head. Taker's eyes land on the small blade in Kane's hand. Handle shaped like a cross, a deep dark red blade with a black cross handle. Something that use to be Takers. Taker desperately tries to move as Kane cups Shawn's face. Shawn doesn't react at all. Doesn't react when the blade stabs through his chest. As blood pours out of him. Taker's eyes water as Shawn's lifeless body hits the floor. Kane pulls the blade out and slams it down into Shawn's chest again.

"NO!" Taker screams suddenly sitting up. His chest heaves as he takes in the environment. His bedroom. He looks at the bed next to him. Empty. It was just a nightmare. Right? Taker's eyes snap to the door as it swings open. "Taker? Baby are you OK?" Shawn asks rushing over. Taker immediately grabs the blond and pulls him into his lap. He ducks his head down and rests it on shawns chest, just needing to feel his heartbeat. "It's alright. It was just a bad dream yeah?" Shawn sighs realizing what's happened. Taker tends to get quiet and clingy after nightmares. Especially nightmares about Shawn. Shawn will just stay with him and try to distract him until he comes back. This could take minutes, hours, or even days. But it's worth it to Shawn.

"Hunter picked Kendall up. Apparently, she was taken after school." Shawn explains, running his fingers through short ginger locks. "I made sure to cleanse her and the house before she left. Kevin also phoned to talk about an actual job. A family thinks their house is possessed. Hunter said he'd gladly join us once he's dropped Kendall off" Shawn adds. Taker slowly lifts his head and looks at Shawn. "Which would be cool. We haven't had a case with both Kevin and hunter in a long time" Shawn smiles. "I mean it's not kliq reunion but it's something ri-" "I love you" Taker chokes, cutting Shawn off. Shawn's eyes widen and he looks at his lover. "Takes? I love you too baby...what's wrong?" Shawn asks gently. Taker shakes his head and Shawn slowly cups his face. "I just wanted to tell you." Taker whispers. "Ok. That's OK baby." Shawn smiles before gently kissing the bigger man.

Taker sighs and kisses him back. "Just wanted you to know" he whispers as he pulls back. "I knew. I've known since day one. Don't you worry about that" Shawn smiles. Taker scans shawns face. "It's all OK," Shawn whispers. Taker nods slightly. Then he thinks about the blade, completely missing Shawn asking to talk."I need to go check something." Taker states. "Oh..ok" Shawn nods moving off his lap. Taker kisses him one last time before rushing off, leaving Shawn sitting on the bed surrounded by today's demons and ghosts. "Shoulda knew he wouldn't stay" one tease. Shawn lowers his head before pushing off the bed. "And here you were going to bother him with your problems of the day when he's suffering more" the female ghost huffs. Shawn didn't like her at all. She was a lady from the victorian era. Liked to put Shawn down about their relationship and shawns role in the house. And then you had the other one. A young man who just loved to poke and bash shawns buttons. He had to be from the 90s from the mullet. Shawn liked to call them Lady and Mullet. Just because they got upset about it.

His demon of the day was an ex. It tended to be Bret who would turn up and put him down. Now Shawn and Bret's relationship was never toxic, but they both had issues, both were too opposite. And demons tend to, enhance these issues and problems when presenting as the person. Shawn knows this. But it still gets under his skin. "It won't be long till he leaves as well." 'Bret' promises. Shawn walks into the bathroom and sighs. "Get lost" he whispers. "You lie to him and then have the nerve to want to bother him with the problem you lied to him about! How stupid can you be!" Bret yells. "Shut up!" Shawn grits gripping the sink. "He's got a point" mullet huffs. Shawn looks up into the mirror and just stares at the image staring back.

Bret looming over him. Eyes glowing a dark pink. "You will never be good enough for him" Bret whispers. Shawn's eyes flicker to the lock on the medicine cabinet. "Oh go on. Do it. You know that's the only way to shut us up" Bret smirks. "You know the code. Go on. 110997" Bret smirks. Shawn's eyes burn into the lock. He can easily put the code in, take one or two pills and taker will never know. His day will be a lot quieter. Just as he lifts his hand the door swings open. "Shawn I think the do-Shawn?" Taker asks suddenly looking up from the box in his hand. Shawn lowers his head as he rests his hand on the sink again. "Shawn.." Taker sighs walking over, placing the box on the counter. "I...I wasn't going to" Shawn whispers. "Is it too loud today?" Taker asks. Shawn nods slowly. "Is that why you came upstairs? To tell me? And I ignored you...I'm sorry Shawn" Taker sighs hugging the blond from behind.

Shawn huffs. "It's fine, you were scared. I should have just waited for you to come back." Shawn whispers. "Baby, scared or not, you have the right to tell me these things. Especially if you feel the need to open that cabinet" Taker states. "I know. I know our deal. I'm sorry." Shawn mutters. Taker looks at the cabinet. They put a lock on it after Shawn had a bad episode. Taker never saw them but Shawn would describe the house as being full of spirits, demonic and good. All too loud for him. Too demanding and scary. Taker found Shawn swallowing back a pill bottle. It was the worst day for them. Taker was terrified. They mutually agreed to have a lock put on the cabinet. They needed the medication inside the cabinet as it's basics like pain medicine and allergies stuff.

"You need to change the pin" Shawn whispers. Taker looks at the blond shocked. "Can't trust myself right now. Change it. Please." Shawn states a bit louder. "Of course. I'll change it." Taker nods. Shawn looks up and sees his lover. No demons, no ghosts, just his husband. "Is it quieter now?" Taker asks calmly. Shawn nods and holds his lover's hands. "Thank you" Shawn whispers. Taker kisses his temple. "It's alright. We have each other. We always will." Taker mutters. Shawn nods. Taker's phone starts to ring. "You should really get that...I might go work in the studio for a few" Shawn admits. "Alright. I'll join you soon" Taker states watching the blond walk off. He looks at the cabinet. He'll change it before he joins Shawn.

He grabs his phone and looks down at it. "Daniel?" Taker whispers before answering it. "Taker?" Daniels's panicking voice asks. "Yes. Daniel, what's wrong?" Taker asks. "It's Kane, he..hes disappeared" Daniel whispers. Taker's eyes widen in fear. "What? What do you mean he disappeared?" Taker demands. "He told me he loved me and that he's sorry for whoever he's going to hurt last night. I didn't think much of it because it's Kane. You know you both are shit with your feelings! But when I woke up this morning he was gone. I can't find him anywhere!" Daniel explains. Taker turns and looks to where he placed the box. It's gone. "Shit!" Taker yells. "Taker?" Daniel asks. "Look keep the doors locked, stay fuckin safe, ill find him. I have to go" Taker rushes before hanging up.

That nightmare can't be a coincidence. It has to be a warning. Taker legs it down the hall, down the stairs, nearly tripping if he didn't grab the banister in time. He rushes through the house towards the garage, or as Shawn called it, the studio. He slams the door open causing Shawn to jump. "Taker?" Shawn asks from his pottery wheel. Taker's eyes scan the room before landing on Shawn. "Baby what's wrong?" Shawn asks standing up. Taker doesn't say anything. He just stands in the doorway, breathing heavily as he watches Shawn. Shawn takes his apron off, leaving him shirtless and in messy joggers. He hadn't got the chance to start anything yet. "Taker? I need you to talk to me...is everything OK? Was it the phone call?" Shawn asks resting a hand on taker's chest.

Taker just kisses shawns temple. "It's ok. Just lost something important" Taker mutters, holding his small lover close. "Oh OK... Will you be joining me?" Shawn asks. "Later. I need to quickly sort something out" Taker admits. Shawn sighs and rubs takers chest before looking at him. "You be safe OK?" Shawn asks. "I will. And I promise we can talk tonight." Taker tells him. "Mm good" Shawn smiles accepting the kiss off Taker. "Remember the rules" taker tells him. "No letting creepy old men in the house as they'll take advantage of my pretty face?" Shawn asks."not what I was on about but sure baby" Taker chuckles and pats him on the ass before walking off. "You know everything's not ok" mullet states. "Shut it" Shawn huffs grabbing his apron. "I know that. But he will tell me when he's ready" Shawn states, smiling as Mike and their first ghost dog, Achilles walk in. "Hey boys, come join us," Shawn tells them as he gets back in his flow.

Taker can't fight the churning feeling in his stomach. He needs to find Kane and that stupid blade. Hell, he doesn't even know if Kane has the blade or if Kane is off doing something stupid. But he still has to find them. He hates to think of Kane doing something so damn dangerous, so he has to find him first. And he knows a place to look. As he leaves the house, bike keys clenched in his hands, mindset on the two gravestones he hopes Kanes sat by, he doesn't notice or feel the pair of eyes watching him leave. He doesn't notice the man walking up to his porch as he drives off on his newest bike. His mind was too foggy to notice anything but his target.

Shawn groans as the door knocks. "I swear takers just left!" Shawn huffs getting up. He quickly cleans his hands before swapping the apron for a shirt. "I have a bad feeling" the lady states following Shawn out of the garage. "You always have a bad feeling" Shawn huffs moving towards the door. He opens it just as the man goes to knock. "Oh hello," the surprisingly high voice speaks. "Oh um hi...can I help you?" Shawn asks confused. "I was wondering if your dear husband was home?" The man asks. "You just missed him sorry" Shawn smiles. The man sighs and nods. "Would it be alright if I waited inside?" He asks. Shawn hesitates, he then remembered the joke he made just a few minutes ago about creepy old men. "Oh, where are my manners? I'm Paul!" Paul smiles. Shawn relaxes. "Why didn't you say?" Shawn chuckles.

Shawn had never actually met Paul, all he knew is that Paul was Kane's actual dad and well Taker found that out the hard way. Taker never really said much about Paul, just that he was a little strange and looked after him when their parents passed and well both men found out he also looked after Kane, just never mentioned the boy being alive till they got older. Taker said that Paul argued he never knew if Kane would make it and didn't want to burden taker until he knew.

"Bad feeling" the lady hisses. "It completely slipped my mind. I forget we never officially met. I mean I found out you married my undertaker from Kane." Paul chuckles as Shawn steps aside and lets him. Shawn closes the door and bites his lip. Well isn't that awkward? "Yeah, sorry about that...it was a small thing really. My own family didn't come either" Shawn admits turning to the man. "Oh, it's fine. Shall we sit and talk?" Paul asks. "Ah yes sure. Would you like a drink?" Shawn asks. "A coffee would be lovely." Paul smiles. "Please take a seat, I'll make you one," Shawn tells the man, pointing towards the living room.

Meanwhile, after breaking a lot of speed limits, we'll not a lot the graveyard wasn't that far from takers home, he arrived. He parks up and rushes toward his parent's graves. And well someone's there, just not who he wants. "Goldust?" Taker asks. "I followed your brother here. He seemed...confused" Goldust states. Taker looks down at the graves. "Where is he now?" Taker questions. "He left. Said he had to get something from Paul's place before he got back" Goldust states holding up a piece of paper. Taker slowly takes it and reads the message Kane wrote. His eyes widen as he turns the paper. "Paul's gone to my home?" Taker asks. "Yes. I don't know why" Goldust shrugs. Taker tenses. "Shawn" Taker whispers. Goldust looks at him. "Is Shawn home?" Goldust asks. "Yes. Shit, I have to go" Taker groans rushing off, leaving the strange man standing at his parent's graves.

Taker needed to find Kane, but he couldn't leave Shawn and Paul alone. He knew Shawn would let the man into their home. He should have stayed. Or at least warned Shawn about Paul. Told him that Paul was a threat. This is exactly why they needed better communication.

Taker felt nervous the entire drive home. He couldn't fight the bad thoughts of Paul being alone with Shawn. He would kill the man. He wasn't going to lose any more loved ones.

He nearly trips getting off his bike. He runs up the porch and into the house. "Shawn!" He yells. "Taker?" Shawn's voice calls. Taker walks into the living room to see Shawn sitting across from Paul, both with mugs in their hands. "Undertaker, it's been a while" Paul smiles. Taker keeps his eyes on Paul as he moves to Shawn. "We were just um talking" Shawn states as Taker sits next to him. "Are you OK?" Taker mutters looking at Shawn. Shawn's face fills with confusion. "Yes," Shawn nods slowly. Taker looks at Paul. "What do you want?" He demands. Paul chuckles. "Taker my son-" "I'm not your son" Taker cuts in. "Taker.." Shawn mutters resting a hand on the taker's knee. Paul's eyes land on the hand before back at taker's face. "Undertaker, I'm concerned about your brother." Paul states.

Taker keeps quiet. "I just wanted to know if you had seen him lately?" Paul asks. "No. But we already know you know where he is so cut the bullshit!" Taker barks. Shawn squeezes his knee. "Taker!" Shawn hisses. "It's alright Shawn. Undertaker has always held this anger towards me since he found out I was Kane's father" Paul sighs placing his cup down. Taker growls. The nerve of this man! "You know I really wish you accepted my help Taker. I'm glad you're happy, but I still feel like your minds are not completely healed" Paul continues. Taker looks at him confused. "What?" Shawn asks. "After the fire. Of course, he was destroyed. His family was killed...I told you not to play with fire..." Paul sighs. Taker's eyes widen as shown hand moves back. "What?" Taker whispers.

"And after the fire, you were so convinced your parents were still alive. Do you still hear them?" Paul asks. "Stop him" mullet growls to Shawn. "Evil! Evil!" Lady yells. Taker looks up slightly as the lights start to flicker. "I just wish you accepted my help. I would hate for you to have any demons laying around still, especially with you now having such a beautiful husband" Paul smiles sadly. "Evil!" Lady yells. "Stop him, Shawn! Shut him up! You know Taker wouldn't play with fire!" Mullet yells. "Do you? Do you truly know him?" A distorted voice asks. Shawn swallows hard. "Don't do that. You know it was Kane who started that fire" Taker grits out. "It was your lighter no?" Paul asks. "Your poor mother-" "don't talk about my mother" Taker bites. Shawn's head starts to get too loud. "Shawn! Help him!" Mullet yells. "I bet his mother slept with a lot of people." The distorted voice chuckles. "Shut up!" Shawn yells looking towards the empty space next to him.

Paul smirks slightly before hiding it behind a shocked expression. Taker's head snaps towards his lover. Shawn's eyes widen and the lights stop flickering. "Wow...so it is true. You do see what others don't... " Paul whispers. Shawn looks at him, confusion and shock all over his face. "Shawn?" Taker whispers. "I didn't believe Kane when he told me. But you don't you?" Paul asks leaning forward. Taker keeps his eyes on Shawn. A rookie mistake on takers behalf as he misses Paul touching shawns hand.

Shawn's eyes widen as the room goes blurry. He gasps and turns his head, fire. He steps back and ends up outside. He looks next to him to see a small child knelt screaming and crying as the house goes up in flames. The child glitches into a shadow of an adult. Shawn looks back at the house in horror. Is this the fire? Shawn turns his head to see a younger Paul ordering a small boy to run away. Shawn turns back to the house to see a beautiful woman with long red curly hair. "Take care of him" she smiles. When Shawn blinks she ends up in front of him. She cups his cheek. "You make him so happy.." she smiles sadly, gently grabbing Shawn's wrist. Shawn jerks back as the distorted figure snap her neck. A large, toothy smile appears on his face. "There's a reason everyone he loves dies Shawn..." the distorted voice chuckles before shoving Shawn.

Shawn's eyes fly open. He didn't know they were closed. Takers knelt in front of him. "Shawn? Baby? Look at me... breath...in....out...cmon" Taker instructs, holding his hands and rubbing the back of them. Shawn takes a moment to compose himself. "I'm ok.." he finally speaks. His voice was rough. He looks behind Taker to see Paul gone. "Paul-" "Yes he's gone. He does that. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left." Taker sighs. "I'm sorry about what he said. About your mother. It wasn't right." Shawn whispers. "Seems like our ghost friends agreed with that didn't they?" Taker smiles slightly. Shawn chuckles. "Lady and Mullet? Yeah, they were begging for me to shut him up" Shawn admits. Taker smiles softly and shawn's heartaches. He looks so much like his mother when he smiles.

Taker's smile falls as a tear rolls down shawns face. "Baby? What's wrong?" Taker asks calmly. Shawn whimpers and wipes his eyes. "I'm sorry..you just...you look so much like her when you smile" Shawn whispers. Taker's eyes widen. "What?" He asks quietly. "I...I saw your mother...s...she talked to me..." Shawn admits. Taker tenses and lowers his head. "She talked to you?" Taker asks quietly. Shawn lifts his head up. "She's happy that you are happy. She's proud of you Taker... " Shawn tells him. Taker nods and kisses shawns hand. "I..Shawn, your visions are getting stronger. They are talking to you now?" Taker questions. Shawn bites his lip. "Yeah...I know the lingering demon is able to but visions of people I've never met...events I wasn't at, they've never been able to see or talk to me. Hell, it's never happened before. Not until we went to that house. Ever since we went to that house they've been able to acknowledge me" Shawn answers.

Taker nods. "We will look into it. I'll keep you safe Shawn. I promise." Taker tells him. Shawn nods slowly. "She was happy?" Taker asks quietly. Shawn sighs and rests takers head on his lap. "Yeah, she was baby. She was beautiful..." Shawn mutters running a hand through Taker's hair.

Shawn couldn't help but feel on edge. The demon wasn't exactly wrong. Everyone Taker loved has suffered death or life-threatening injuries. And what scares Shawn the most is the promise of Taker keeping him safe. The fear of what taker will do to keep him safe, how far he will truly go, who he will hurt. Shawn closes his eyes and tilts his head back.

"I'll help you find Kane," Shawn speaks up after a few minutes of silence. Taker looks up. "No...Shawn, I can't... " "I'm not asking. You clearly fear for Kane right now. I'm guessing that was to do with the nightmare. Let me help you find Kane" Shawn cuts in. Taker sighs and sits back. "Let's talk about it later alright? I... it's a lot." Taker mutters. Taker isn't going to let it happen. He does not need an unstable Kane near his lover. Especially now that Paul has gotten to Shawn. "Fine. Fine" Shawn whispers before standing. Taker turns and leans back against the sofa, watching his lover collect mugs and walk out to the kitchen. He closes his eyes and rests his head back. Maybe he does need help. After finding Kane. Not some demons Paul assumes he has. He could phone Goldust. Mankind. Austin..he doesn't need to drag Shawn into this. He needs to keep Shawn safe, and having him help with Kane is not doing that.

"Fuck!"

Taker's eyes shoot open and he pulls himself up, walking into the kitchen to see Shawn staring at his wrist in horror. "Shawn, what's wrong?" Taker asks walking closer. Taker stares in horror as well as a dark bruise forms on shawns wrist. "What the hell, Shawn what the fuck is going on?" Taker demands. Shawn knows straight away. This is bad.

This is so bad.

The demon, this parasite is using visions to get closer to Shawn, using moments of weakness. What Shawn doesn't understand is why Taker's mother? A woman he never met. A woman who, realistically has no relationship with Shawn. A woman he hadn't even seen a single photo of. The only time they meet is on the anniversary of the house fire when Shawn doesn't want the taker to go to the grave alone. Shawn doesn't tend to go to the graveyard...too many dead people. But he always goes on that day.

Why is this thing using taker's mother to get to him?

And how is it suddenly so strong?

"Shawn!" Taker barks. Shawn looks up. "I must have hit it" Shawn immediately states. Taker raises an eyebrow. "What happened in that vision? Tell me" Taker snaps. "Nothing! Leave it!" Shawn barks pulling his wrist back. "No! Tell me, Shawn! This isn't ok!" Taker yells.

And as the yelling increases, Paul watches from the window with a small smile. "Well done..the plan is working.." he laughs.

The Conjuring- Chapter 2, Babysitting Nightmare

Shawn and Taker talk about current affairs whilst babysitting.

-----

Undertaker crosses his arms and looks at the small home. "Oh don't be so grumpy" Shawn tuts. "Shawn I'm telling you it's just a creature from the valley" Taker sighs. "Maybe, maybe not" Shawn shrugs walking up to the door. "A lovely home isn't it?" Shawn asks. "It's nice I guess" Taker mutters knocking on the door. "You guess?" Shawn snorts at the man clearly having a hissy fit. "Look we can stop on the way home at the diner and get you an ice cream after dinner," Shawn tells the older man. Taker just keeps a fowl look on his face. Undertaker admitted he never tried ice cream on the way over as they passed a diner selling some. Of course, it was the one time Shawn was driving meaning he refused to stop. Especially as Taker did the same to him the last time they were out and about.

"It's just revenge for all the times you've denied me my sweet tooth cravings" Shawn teases as the door unlocks. Both men pause at the empty doorway. "Still believe it's just a valley creature?" Shawn asks before walking inside. "That boy is out of his damned mind!" Taker hisses rushing after his careless husband. "Hello!?" Shawn calls looking around. "Shawn-" "help!" A small voice yells. The pair look at each other. "You sensing spirits?" Taker asks as they track the cries for help to the basement door. "Nope," Shawn answers placing his hand on the doorknob. He gasps as a vision flies into his mind.

Shawn looks around as an older man grabs a small girl. "Kendal you'll be safe in here" he states. The small girl sobs. "I want mama!" She cries. "Shell meet you down there!" He hisses pushing her towards the door. "You should leave" a distorted voice calls. Shawn feels a shiver run down his spine...normally they can't see him in visions. Shawn turns and a gasp escapes his lips. The shadow figure smiles darkly at him. The limp body of the mother hanging from one hand and the undertaker's head hanging from the other.

Shawn cries out and jerks away from the door. "Shawn!" Taker calls. Shawn looks at him. "Baby what was it?" Taker asks calmly, cupping his face and using his thumb to brush his tears away. "The girl is safe. Her mother is dead...the father...is missing.." Shawn whispers. "What else did you see?" Taker asks softly. "That's all" Shawn lies. Taker nods and moves towards the door, slowly Twisting the knob and pulling it open. "Must lock from the outside.." Taker mutters. Shawn can't help but examine the house as Taker makes his way into the basement. Shawn starts to feel uneasy so stands by the door, keeping it open as a little girl runs up. Taker slowly follows. "I probably shouldn't have gone down.." Taker frowns as the small girl hides behind Shawn. Shawn chuckles and turns to kneel in front of her.

"Kendal right?" Shawn asks softly. She nods. "This is my husband u-" "mark" undertaker cuts in. Shawn raises an eyebrow. Taker just shrugs. Shawn swears it's his birth name but Taker has no real memories of his childhood, especially after the accident. "Husband?" Kendal asks. "But you're pretty and he's scary.." she whispers. Shawn looks at his husband. 7ft, short ginger hair, bandana around his head, bags under his eyes, facial hair, pure muscle, and a foul look on his face. Yeah, when Shawn takes him in he can understand why a child would find the biker scary. "Yeah but he's really sweet" Shawn shrugs looking at the girl. She tilts her head but looks back at Shawn and nods. "Is it safe now?" She asks quietly. "Yeah, me and..Mark here will protect you" Shawn smiles, trying not to hesitate too much at the foreign name on his tongue. Taker hides a smile at his husband's clear discomfort.

"Can you come with us? We will take you back to ours and have a friend come help find your parents OK?" Shawn asks. Kendal nods. "Your house..is safe from the monster?" She asks. "Yes," Shawn smiles. Shawn stands up. "Imma call hunter. Hopefully, he can get away from Vince to help." Shawn mutters. "Yeah..ill phone Jr and some of the boys about this place..see if they can cleanse it. If not we will come back and try once she's safe" Taker explains. Shawn nods and takes Kendal's hand in one hand and his phone in the other, dropping a text for hunter to come by their house as they walk back to the car. "Do you have cookies?" Kendal asks. "Of course, we do" Shawn smiles opening the back door. "Does this mean no dinner and ice cream?" Taker asks suddenly appearing behind Shawn as he closes the door.

"Gosh ill ask hunter to bring some ice cream over and I'll cook tonight," Shawn tells the taller man, texting hunter with the request. Taker actually pouts at the smaller man. "Are...are you pouting at me?" Shawn laughs. Taker rolls his eyes and climbs in the car. "No! That's adorable!" Shawn giggles getting into the car. The drive back is peaceful, Shawn and Kendal talking the entire time whilst taker just drives. It's not until they are close to home that Shawn asks taker a question.

"Who do you have 73 missed calls from?" Shawn asks as taker's phone rings in the cupholder. Taker glances at the phone. "Want me to get that for you?" Shawn questions. "No" Taker grunts hanging up the phone. "Who is it? Is everything OK?" Shawn asks. "Yes" is all taker replies. "Just answer the phone then" Shawn suggests. "No Shawn I'm not answering the fu-" taker cuts himself off as he glances in the mirror and sees Kendal staring at him. He sighs and taps his hands on the steering wheel. Shawn raises an eyebrow at his lover. "I'm sorry. I just really don't want to talk to this person...I'm sorry for losing my temper" taker apologies. "You are allowed to get upset takes, is it Kane? I know you haven't spoken in a long time." Shawn asks. "It's not Kane. It's...don't worry. I'll explain soon." Taker promises. Shawn nods as they turn up. "Oh, Hunters here" Shawn smiles as they get out of the car.

Taker raises an eyebrow. "And he's let himself into our home" Taker mutters helping the girl out of the car. "It's fine it's hunter" Shawn smiles leading Kendal into the house. "Yeah, but it doesn't feel me with security" Taker huffs locking the car and walking inside. He pauses in the doorway and looks behind him at the sudden feeling of being watched. He huffs and taps the door frame. "You know the deal" he mutters to their home. A home that has kept him and Shawn safe for many years now. A home he trusts will keep Shawn safe when he's not around. He walks in to see hunter knelt talking to the girl. "Apparently a report of a girl being missing came from the town" Shawn mutters. Taker jumps, not hearing Shawn walk up to him at all. "I'm telling you, you need a fuckin bell" Taker whispers. Shawn smiles at his startled husband. "Well, where is the fun in that?" Shawn smirks patting his bicep. Taker rolls his eyes.

He takes his eyes off hunter and looks at taker. "What you saw in that house...how do you want to deal with the demon?" Taker asks quietly. "It's an old house. No one wants it. I don't think we have to worry. It killed the kidnappers and saved the girl" Shawn answers, his eyes landing back on the small girl. "Wasnt that her parent?" Taker asks. "No, I thought they were as she was calling for her mother. But they weren't." Shawn admits. "So she was just calling for her mother in fear...they were just strangers.." taker huffs before looking at Shawn. "We could send some of the boys just in case the demon is still lurking," Taker tells him. "If it makes you feel better" Shawn shrugs. Taker can't help but feel concerned. Shawn is normally so desperate to get rid of pests, even if the house is abandoned. Something is going on and whilst taker isn't willing to push his husband for an answer, he will get one. Hunter walks up to the pair. "Can I ask a favor?" Hunter asks. "Sure" Shawn nods. "I just need you to watch her until I can get her parents up here. It might just be a day" hunter states. "Are they not from the town?" Shawn asks. Hunter shakes his head. "I wish. This isn't the girl missing from the town. She knows the name of her town. I just need to run down and get them here. I don't want to drag her around in case I can't find them straight away" Hunter explains. "Yeah, it's probably safer for her here. Gives us time to make sure the ghosts haven't connected to her" Taker nods. "Thank you. Oh and Shawn...Vince wishes you'd pick up the phone" hunter states. "God don't we all?" Shawn smirks. Hunter just shakes his head and leaves the house.

Shawn walks over to Kendall. "You'll be staying with us until hunter can get your parents OK?" Shawn asks. "I know. I asked to stay" Kendall smiles. "I like you two. And it feels safe in here" she adds. Taker finds that sentence funny. They are stood a hall away from a room full of haunted items. Their house is alive and the land around them is full of monsters and creatures. And yet a small girl finds it safe. "I'm glad you feel that way" Shawn smiles. "Can we have food?" Kendal asks. "Of course. I'll make us some sandwiches" Shawn smiles placing a hand on her shoulder. Taker watches as the man's eyes widen. "I..is he OK?" Kendal whispers as shawn's hand tightens on her shoulder. "Shit" Taker mutters quickly moving closer to the pair, unclasping shawns hand.

This seems to bring the blond back. "I'm sorry" Shawn sighs. "Are you sure you're alright?" Taker questions. "Yes. Yes, it's alright. She's clean. She's fine. I just had a vision and she wasn't even in it...strange right?" Shawn forces a smile. Taker just watches as the man makes his way into the kitchen. Kendal tilts her head towards the taller man. "Is he always like that?" She asks. "What the visions or the suspicious behavior?" Taker asks looking down at the girl. "I would say both but from your reaction the visions are normal" she states. "Then no. He's not always like this." Taker states. "Huh" Kendal huffs looking at the doorway. "Yeah.." Taker huffs copying the small girl.

Taker wishes he knew what Shawn saw in times like this. But Shawn never tells him the whole truth. Taker always finds out on his own. Like the fact, Shawn can see dead people. It started off with the animals and then with Shawn complementing a man's wife who had been dead for 20 years. The man stared at Shawn in shock whilst undertaker watched confused as Shawn had a full-on conversation with someone who wasn't even there. "Who are you talking to?" The man would ask. "Your...wife?" Shawn would ask slowly before looking at his boyfriend at the time. "There's no one there Shawn." Taker would tell him.

Yeah after some apologizing taker and Shawn had a long conversation once they got home. Taker guesses he should have known better. The man could see dead animals and have visions, of course, he could see and speak to the dead. Taker gets concerned about Shawn. Especially in times like this. He knows about shawns past drug addictions. He knows how Shawn used drugs and alcohol to quiet the dead. Block out his demons. Block out the voices and visions. Taker gets it. He understands why Shawn would do that if it works. But Shawn has been sober since they got together. They worked on it, Shawn would talk to Taker about it, allowing taker to be the voice of reason. Tell taker what he was seeing or hearing so taker could block them out for him. One of taker's biggest fears is Shawn turning back to drugs and with Shawn not telling taker what's going on in his mind, taker's concern is growing and now it's starting to bother him.

"Sandwiches in the kitchen!" Shawn calls. Taker watches the dark-haired girl walk into the kitchen. Taker follows and looks at Shawn who helps the girl up to sit at the kitchen island. "Shawn, can we talk?" Taker asks. Shawn looks at him. "Is everything OK?" Shawn asks. "Yeah, yeah, we just need to talk ok?" Taker tells him. Shawn nods and smiles at the small girl before following the bigger man into the living room. "Yo-" "I'm sorry I'm not telling you everything. I know we agreed on it but I don't understand it myself at the moment." Shawn admits. Taker looks at him and nods. "That's all I need Shawn. Just reassurance that your OK, if you understand what you've seen or not" Taker informs Shawn as he takes his hands. "I know and I know we agreed on that. And I'm sorry" Shawn sighs. Taker watches as his lover runs small hands over his face. "I just keep seeing the same figure.." Shawn whispers. "The burned footprints in the kitchen?" Taker asks. Shawn looks at him. "Yes...yo..its leaving marks?" Shawn asks quietly. "Meaning it not 100 percent a vision" Taker tells him.

Fear fills Shawn. And taker immediately recognizes it and pulls him into a hug. "I will not let harm come to you" Taker whispers. "I don't know what to do Taker..the things I'm seeing.." Shawn chokes against taker's chest. "We will figure this out together. I promise you." Taker promises. Shawn nods and pulls back. "I don't know if the figure had something to do with Kendal. If it saved her for a reason or what. I don't have all the answers" Shawn states. Taker nods and kisses Shawn head. "Go get some rest. I'll watch the kid" Taker tells him. Shawn raises an eyebrow. "You? Babysitting?" Shawn asks. Taker looks at him confused. "I use to watch Kane. I mean yeah he burned our house down but he survived so I did my job" Taker comments. And yeah it's a bad joke. But that's not why Shawn tenses.

Shawn tenses because of the subject of Kane. Kane, the little brother. The baby brother Taker loves dearly. The little brother who he believes survived the fire and is a human who wears a mask to hide the shame of the scars. In reality, Shawn knows Kane isn't human. That Kane is dead. Has been since that day. Shawn just doesn't know how to tell Taker this. Kane has his brother believing he's alive and Shawn can't find a reason to break the news. It's not like it's harming anyone.

Shawn knew the day he met Kane that he wasn't alive. Shawn watched the masked man and was fully convinced they might have to cleanse their house again until Taker pulled him into a hug and introduced him. Kane and Shawn just stared at each other. Shawn in horror that he was literally staring at a demon. A deadman. And Kane was in confusion at the fact this blond could not only see that he wasn't alive but the fact he had tamed his older brother. Both had a mutual agreement to just stay away from each other. Can't hurt taker's feelings if they don't interact. Kane can't attack, hurt or scare Shawn away if he isn't near him and Shawn can't spill Kane's secret if he doesn't see him.

"Bub? You alright?" Taker calls. Shawn snaps back. "Sorry, what was that?" Shawn asks. "I just apologized. Terrible joke" Taker shrugs. "No no, it's fine. I was just uh thinkin about your brother and the idea of you babysitting a girl" Shawn states. "Yeah yeah, go rest" Taker huffs. Shawn chuckles and kisses takers cheek before walking off. What Taker doesn't know can't harm them.

Right?

Taker walks back into the kitchen and pauses. The girl is gone. "Kendall?" He asks. "Why are you ignoring him?" The girl's voice asks from behind him. Taker jumps slightly and turns to see the girl's eyes are completely white. The house is quiet and still. Which reassures Taker that he's safe. "What?" Taker asks. "Your father would appreciate you answering his calls" the girl states. "Well tell him not to possess a helpless girl and come see me himself" Taker snaps. The girl's eyes turn back and she stumbles slightly. Taker steadied her. "I um wanted to ask about sauce...but I think I blacked out" Kendall whispers. "Yeah, your OK now though right?" Taker asks. The girl nods and taker picks her up. "Let's get you back to your food." Taker tells her. She nods and cuddles close.

Taker can't help but feel a bit ill at the idea of Paul knowing where he and Shawn live. He knows what the man is capable of and also knows what he'd do with Shawn's gift if he gets his hands on it.

And takers will not allow that to happen. He won't let Paul near Shawn and he won't let Shawn see Paul.

What Shawn doesn't see can't harm him.

Right?

I mentioned OC children and never told you about them.

Me and @c-valentines created them.

Leon Michaels

The oldest child of Shawn and Taker. He was born (surrogate) before taker and shawn got married. Roughly aba time when Shawn was still off.

He has short blond hair, middle part and an undercut, but a weird black streak in the fringe of his hair. One that Shawn doesn't understand as Takers natural hair is ginger anyways. Taker straight away knows it darkness related but doesn't have the balls to tell Shawn. (Shawn finds out after taker comes back, no longer a redhead now with dark hair. He just doesn't tell taker). He has a right blue eye and a left green one.

He 100% has shawns attitude but he doesn't like to speak. He tends to be quiet and brooding just like taker. But when he's a teenager he 100% speaks up to defend his family and its always full of attitude and threats.

He does gain a scar across his nose when he turns 16. (A story for another day)

And we have nicknames, because of course these are shawns children, Leon has Lee, LeeLee, Leo, Buttoned-up, Two tone and scarface.

Cassidy Michaels

The youngest (at the moment). She was born after Taker and Shawn get married. Leon would be 5-6 at the time.

She has long ginger hair and blue eyes. She has freckles.

She's the opposite of Leon. She's loud and bubbly. 100% Shawn's and big evils child. (Even though she wouldn't of been born during his era but you get me). She's always causing trouble that Leon has to get her out of. Hunter adores her and tells Shawn and taker should could start her own dx. Which does fill both men with fear.

She of course has some nicknames- Cassie, Bub, Casa, Care Bear, Loon, Carrot-top. Bug.

Taker really doesn't understand kids when they first have Leon, yeah he has Kane but his mother was there to help before the accident.

Shawn has some understanding, he helped with his nephews and niece's and would look after some of the wrestlers kids, including vinces.

But they learn and grow together, shawn is reckless and fun and taker is sensible and tough. It works. They are happy. Even if some supernatural stuff happens with taker and Leon.

headcanon in question

Headcanon time

This is based on the idea Shawn was either back when Taker attacked X-pac or was around backstage, coming to talk to Taker.

Shawn can't find his lover anywhere, so he tries the lockeroom him and Kane normally use.

Thats where he finds Kane and X-pac

His heart stops at the amount of blood.

"Kane? What's happened? Who did this?" Shawn asks as he quickly rushes over and kneels.

Kane, who's still hitting his head and rocking just growls.

Shawn remembers seeing taker deal with kane in times like this. So he gently takes the bigger man's wrists and lowers his arms.

"Kane come back to me bub, who did this?"

Shawn will ask in the softest voice as he gently rubs the others arms. Kane calms down and stops rocking as violently and points at the ring around shawns finger. Shawns eyes widen in anger and disgust. He tells kane to take x pac to the medics before storming off.

Takers doing his interview with his new squad when Shawn finds him. Taker smiles and holds his arms out, calling shawns name.

Not caring at the audience, shawn storms up and slaps him, getting gasps. Takers eyes widen and he slowly touches his face.

"How could you do that to your brother?"

Then taker understands. "I warned him"

"I don't care! You disgust me" shawn bites. "Just like Paul." Shawn hisses before storming off to find kane and kid.

Taker doesn't talk or throw his weight the rest of the week. Shawns words echo in his mind like an nightmare. 'you disgust me' and especially 'just like Paul'. Shawn avoids him, staying with Kane. And kane? Kane won't even let taker near him, xpac or Shawn.

Taker never thought Shawn would get angry at him like this. Especially side with his brother.

Taker finally manages to catch shawn. We'll more like Shawn answers the door instead of kane.

"Please talk to me Shawn, please" Taker begs, falling to his knees. Shawn just looks at him before stepping out onto the deck (porch? Idk we don't have them over here) He stands infront of his lover and stares at him as takers big hands grab his waist.

"Explain yourself."

Explain Yourself

This is based off @sleepy-achilles latest head canon about the attack on X-pac but also the one hints at the stalker story Shawn and Taker went through

---

Shawn knew he shouldn't be at the arena. Not with the whole stalker thing going on. But he needed to see Taker. The problem was he couldn't find Taker anywhere. So he went to the locker room with Kane and his name. He opens the door and pauses at the banging noise.

He walks in and freezes at the sight. A bloody X pac laid out and Kane having a breakdown next to him. "Kane? Kane buddy what's happened?" Shawn asks quickly rushing over. He knows Kane has grown attached to kid lately. He also knows how dangerous that can be for Kane. He kneels and examines Kid. He turns back to Kane and remembers watching Taker calm Kane down. He slowly takes the bigger man's wrists and lowers them. He ignores Kid's dazed glare burning into him. "C’mon Kane breath," Shawn tells him softly, gently rubbing Kane’s arms. Kane looks at him and the rocking slows. "There we go...I need you to calm down" Shawn tells him. Kane nods slowly. "Who did this?" Shawn asks. Kane turns his hands in Shawn's hold. Shawn watches as Kane's fingers press against his wrist. Kane’s left-hand slips down and presses against Shawn’s ring. Shawn's eyes widen as Kane growls.

"Taker?" Shawn asks.

Kane nods and disgust and anger fill Shawn. "Get Kid to medical OK? I'll meet you there" Shawn orders as he pushes up and leaves. It doesn't take him long to find Taker. He's bragging about his attack in an interview. Shawn catches hunter and dx watching from down the hall. But he doesn't care. "Taker" show grunts. Taker looks at Shawn and smiles. "Hey, baby" Taker holds his hands out.

His smile quickly fades.

Shawn storms up and slaps him.

Gasps break out as Taker slowly presses a hand to his cheek. "Why the hell would you do that to your brother!" Shawn yells. Taker slowly looks at Shawn. "We warned him" Taker states quietly. "I don't give two shits! Kane cares about him! I'm disgusted you'd do this to Kane!" Shawn barks. Taker watches Shawn with wide eyes. "Your acting just like Paul" Shawn spits. Taker stares at him in shock. Fear filled his gut at the words. "Wh-Shawn no-do-don't say th-that" Taker stumbles out as Shawn pulls back and begins to walk away. "Shawn!" Taker yells watching his lover walk away from him.

Again.

Taker doesn't see Shawn for a while after that. He's staying with Kane. Both men refuse to speak to him. Dx is absolutely loving it. Hunter will just smirk knowingly at taker and it will fill taker with anger. Taker is haunted by Shawn's words. 'I'm disgusted' and 'your acting just like Paul' floats in his mind as he stares at the blank walls.

Taker tries Kane's house one last time, and this time it's Shawn who answers.

"Shawn, baby please, please talk to me" Taker begs. Shawn just stares at him. Taker falls to his knees. "Please. Please don't leave me. Please talk to me" Taker begs, voice cracking slightly. Shawn closes the door and steps forward. He swallows his pride and looks at his lover as the large shaking hands grab his waist.

"Explain yourself"

This is just a paragraph from a story I’m writing for my friends and @sleepy-achilles is bothering me to post it so here we go.

The boys were just wasting time before the show. "Where'd you lose your virginity?" Cena asks Shawn. Shawn raises his head. "Me?" He asks. "Yeah you" Cena states. "On a throne" Shawn smirks. "And then you turned into a total whore" Taker speaks up. Shawn fakes hurt. "That's not true" Shawn pauses. "Ok yeah it's true" Shawn admits. "Your first time was on a throne?" Hunter asks. "In my defence I didn't know it was his first time until the next day" Taker mutters still scrolling through his phone. "Wow" Cena huffs. "Best time of my life" Shawn smirks leaning against Hunters back. "I don't know if that's a good thing" hunter states. "Better not be the best time" Taker grunts. Shawn giggles and rests his chin on Hunters shoulder.

Lmao That person doesn’t even like Shawn Michaels btw, they are an anti-Shawn.

but then they come out with things like this. 100% convinced they are just jealous of Shawn or just wanted to make Sleepy cry

I was having a great day. Perfect day. (Except for the burn)

When it was dropped on me,

'How do you think Taker would react if he couldn't save Shawn and shawn died? You know like Gwen and Peter from amazing spiderman 2.'

My heart shattered as all these ideas flooded into my mind. Days like this I wish I write but I don't.

Basic plot for any writers out there was Paul never liked Shawn and the fact he took and saved the Undertaker so him and his little hoodie goons interfere and put Shawn in a situation and taker is just too slow or too late to save him.

A Perfect Birthday

I woulda wrote smut but I ain’t good at that so take this instead. Happy Birthday Deadman

When Taker woke up he was alone. Alone and confused.

Last night was amazing, this morning was even better. Taker had Shawn right where he wanted him, spread out underneath him, and not putting up a fight, he submitted beautifully to the deadman. But now? Well, now Shawn was nowhere to be seen. Which Taker found odd as the younger man never woke up first after a night and morning like that. Taker sits up and as he scans the too neat room he feels a sudden feeling of fear grow in his stomach. Had something found away into Taker's home and taken Shawn? No..that couldn't be. The house would have told Taker. But that would only mean Shawn left on his own, which doesn't feel right. He and Shawn were passed that age in their lives. They were are at peace together. I mean they had been married since 2007 but that is minor details.

Taker forces himself to kick his feet out of bed. He looks at his phone which is going off with text messages but he doesn't check them. He knows none of them are Shawn. He makes his way to the bathroom and examines the room from the door. Well, Shawn's things are still here. So he must be, right? Shawn would never leave without his stuff. Unless he was truly done with Taker. He could just buy new stuff. Borrow from Hunter or Kevin. He didn't need this stuff if it reminded him of Taker. That thought makes Taker whimper. Which takes him, and the house, by surprise. Taker has never made that kind of noise. Normally he was getting these noises out of Shawn. Taker furrows his brows and frowns before walking into the hallway.

He walks down the hall, taking in the photos Shawn had hung up. Taker never saw the need to hang photos on his walls. He never had any good ones anyway. But then Shawn would take photos, claiming it's an old habit from the Kliq cam days, and they slowly found their way on the walls. Taker pauses at one. He remembers this day. It was their first vacation together, American badass him and a fresh reborn Shawn. The photo shows Shawn clearly wearing Takers sunglasses, blond hair wild and fuzzy from the humidity and a pink tongue stuck out. His face is pressed against Takers. Taker's hair hidden by a backward cap. Taker stares at his younger self. The younger self that smiled for the first time in this very photo. His eyes lock on the Shawn on the screen, the fond loving look in his eyes. And that damnd smile only Shawn could bring out of him.

Taker would never tell Shawn, hell he doesn't even know if he will ever see Shawn again, that this is his favorite photo and memory of them. Well not even of them, his favorite memory in general. Other than their wedding day of course. Taker sighs and forces himself away from the photo towards the stairs. He pauses at the stop at the sounds of whispers. "Shawn?" He calls. Nothing. Maybe it was a creature. Maybe that is the reason Shawn was gone. Taker rushes down the stairs only to freeze on the bottom step in what Shawn would call fear, Taker would call it shock. "Surprise!" Shawn smiles. Taker stares at their colleagues. His brother. "Wha...Shawn?" Taker asks. "Nice boxers" hunter smirks. Shawn shoves his friend and moves towards Taker.

Taker takes the image of his lover in. His perfectly present and safe lover. Still intact..well except for the frosting on his face. "Are you OK?" Shawn asks. "I thought..." Taker begins only to stop and take in the faces. "What is the surprise for?" Taker asks confused. Kane chuckles only for Daniel to nudge him. "Taker...baby it's your birthday.." Shawn tells him. Taker stares at his lover before at the room. The messily made happy birthday banner. The birthday cake. The presents. The stupid birthday hats. "Oh" Taker whispers. It's his birthday. "You didn't know? What did you think was going on?" Shawn asks. "I thought a creature had taken you..or you had gotten tired and...left..." Taker admits. The crowd falls quiet. "Oh...oh baby no..I'm sorry I didn't...God, I'm stupid, shoulda left a note or something" Shawn smiles sadly, pulling the bigger man into a hug.

Taker steps down and accepts the hug. "I just got so excited about planning this that I didn't even think How'd you react to not seeing me in bed" Shawn chuckles. Taker smiles slightly and pulls back. "Thank you, Shawn." Taker mutters. Shawn looks at him and smiles. "Happy Birthday deadman" Shawn giggles leaning up to kiss the deadman. Taker smiles and kisses back. "Now let's celebrate!" Shawn cheers pulling back. The crowd chuckle and the party begins, well after taker puts clothes on.

And it's a good party, it's great. Taker enjoys watching his friends have a good time. A stress-free time. The kliq and the bsk finally getting along. The younger fighters listening to the elders talk about Taker's past adventures. Takers' heartbeats as laughter fills the quiet house. Kane looks at taker. "You seem happy" he speaks. Taker looks at his normally mute brother. "It's nice isn't it? Seeing them all getting along? Them all at peace?" Taker asks. Kane looks at the party from where he and his elder brother are leaning against the kitchen counter. "They're always working so hard. Always fighting, themselves and each other." Taker adds. "Yeah, and it's all thanks to him" Kane murmurs nodding towards the small blond before sipping his beer.

Taker looks to see Shawn telling a story to Kevin and Rikishi. He only knows the blond is telling a story from his over-the-top hand movement. Kevin watches his younger friend with amusement whilst Rikishi watches him with interest. "Anyways, who cares about others being happy on their own birthday?" Kane asks looking at taker. Taker looks down at his beer. "Because it makes him happy. And that makes me happy" Taker admits quietly. Because that's it. That's all that truly mattered to Taker, Shawn. Shawn is happy. "God, you're so love-struck" Kane huffs. Taker chuckles and lifts his head at a sudden yelp. He looks to see hunter behind Shawn, hands on his hips. Kevin and Rikishi are laughing their asses off whilst Shawn looks unamused. "It's good to see the Kliq laughing," Kane admits quietly. His eyes watching X-Pac. The only person in this house he hasn't gone and stood by creepily. Taker looks X-PAC who's stood near Daniel. Taker then looks at Kevin, Hunter, and Shawn. "It is weird seeing them without Scott." Taker admits quietly.

Kane nods and stands. "Is it true he visited you after he passed?" Kane asks. "Yeah. He wanted me to make sure they all stay safe, especially Shawn and Kevin. He's concerned about them. But I promised to watch over them" Taker states. "At least you know Shawn has a spirit looking after him for once" Kane smirks. Taker rolls his eyes and groans. "That's not funny, Shawn wouldn't sleep for a month after that" Taker groans causing Kane to chuckle. Taker made Shawn promise to never play with an ouija board ever again after that night. Especially with Kane. Let's just say Taker and Daniel came home to a messy house, laughing Kane and a crying Shawn.

The brothers stand in silence for a few minutes. "Happy Birthday Brother," Kane whispers. Taker looks at him and smiles. "Thank you" Kane smirks and begins moving away. "Talk to him Kane" taker calls. Kane just stops and looks at his brother. "You're old" Kane snickers before rushing off towards x pac. Taker stares at him gobsmacked. "Old? Did he just.." Taker asks himself. He would get his brother back for that unneeded rib. He would. But right now? Right now he was going to enjoy his birthday. He was going to relish this time with his friends and colleagues. His newfound family. He also takes a moment to mourn those who couldn't be here with them.

And he does enjoy his birthday, for the first time in a while. Taker stands in their backyard watching the sunset as the laughter continues. He enjoys the party, he loves that Shawn put all his time and effort into making this happen. That he did all of this for Taker even when suffering a loss of a loved one. A hand rests on his lower back. "Hey" Shawn speaks softly. Taker looks at his lover and smiles. "Hey. Thank you for this kid." Shawn smiles and looks down, moving to stand in front of the bigger man. "You woulda done it for me" Shawn states looking up at him. Taker can't get rid of his smile. He cups the smaller man's face. "I love you" Taker mutters. "I love you too big man" Shawn chuckles before leaning up to kiss him. The kiss is soft, gentle. Just how it has always been since they hit old age. They rarely share those hard, rough, fighting-for-life kisses anymore, unless something happens.

They are older now. They don't need that fighting attitude with each other anymore. They have got over their stupid phase of dancing around each other and avoiding their feelings. These days they can sit down and talk about their feelings. Their issues. If one has said something to upset the other. Done something to upset the other. For example, the past week. Shawn fell into a depression. He wasn't the same after that last facetime with Scott. He was angry at himself for not being with Scott, something Taker reassured him wasn't his fault. With Covid restrictions still strong in hospitals and the fact they wouldn't have been able to make it in time stopped Shawn from going. Taker knows Shawn doesn't deal with loss well. He never has. Whether it's death or someone leaving for a long time. Taker would know that after watching Shawn visit his grave during one of his younger birthdays.

"I'm proud of you kid" Taker states. Shawn shakes his head and rests his head against taker's chest. "And I'm proud of you, for having a good day. Having fun. Smiling and laughing." Shawn yawns. "I'm sorry for assuming you'd left" Taker spits out. Shawn shrugs. "I woulda done the same. I ain't got a good track record now do I?" Shawn jokes. Taker chuckles causing Shawn to giggle. "God Kane called me old today." Taker informs Shawn. Shawn lifts his head. "You are old. Good old 57" Shawn smirks. "You literally turn 57 in a few months" Taker scoffs. Shawn gasps. "Rude" Taker rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "But, if you left me to finish...you woulda known I like old you. It's sexy. Especially the grey hair you've got growing in" Shawn smirks. "Ah, so you just wanna get your rocks off?" Taker teases. "I'm Shawn Michaels, when don't I?" Shawn jokes. Taker chuckles. "Do not tell Kevin I said grey hair is sexy" Shawn suddenly spits out. Taker breaks into laughter at Shawn's sudden panic.

"No seriously! I've been teasing him for years about the grey! You cannot tell him I find it hot!" Shawn squeaks. Taker wraps an arm around the blond. "Mhm ill keep your secret kid." Taker reassures him "I already know that's a lie but thank you" Shawn smiles resting a hand on taker's chest. "I love you" Shawn states. "I love you, Shawn. Thank you for all of this." Taker smiles softly at the blond. Shawn nods and rests his head against the bigger man's chest. Closing his eyes gently as he listens to the soft heartbeat and smiles slightly. Taker closes his eyes, ignoring the party chatter. The fact he can hear the photos being taken of them.

"Happy Birthday Undertaker," Shawn whispers tiredly. Taker hums and holds the smaller man tighter. Yeah, it was a happy birthday. Taker thinks as the sun finishes setting and the valley comes to life.

A perfect birthday.
